Compression test

[markweatherill]

I just did a compression test on my car.
The results were between 219 - 224 PSI.
But I realised afterwards I hadn't held the throttle open while doing the test, and you are, like, supposed to, I know.
Perhaps I'll have another go tomorrow and do it properly. In the meantime are these numbers at all meaningful?

It's a Nissan Rasheen, JDM import, 1500cc engine like an Almera. The book says 13.24BAR / 192PSI is good.
Would a closed throttle give a reading higher than expected, or lower..?

Agree.


OP are you looking for anything in particular or just checking for wear .

Not suspecting anything amiss, just checking. The car runs OK but you never know.

As for the car's looks, well, I've always been one to start trends not follow them.
